BRIAN BENJAMIN: I think, in the case of Jeff Sessions, there are a lot of concerns. If you look at the --
DOOCY: Like what?

BENJAMIN: Well, what context? He needs to come and explain that. The bottom line is that Jeff Sessions is not some easy attorney general pick.

So clearly, he is someone who does not have a squeaky clean record when it comes to being someone who is for civil rights for all Americans. Accepting the Ku Klux Klan is not the kind of attorney general I'm looking for.
